[Sundaycommunity] Fwd: This Nonviolent Life: Will we give in?

[Greg Gillis]

As we continue to pray that the ceasefire in Gaza turns into something
permanent and a move to genuine peace and justice Thomas Merton's
reflection seems powerful at this time of nuclear brinkmanship. As Dan
Berrigan made clear, we have a choice between worshipping the God of Peace
and Nonviolence or Lord Nuke.

In Peace

Greg

*Sunday, January 19, 2025*

“In a word, the end of our civilized society is quite literally up to us
and our immediate descendants, if any. It is up to us to decide whether we
are going to give in to hatred, terror and blind love of power for its own
sake, and thus plunge the world into the abyss, or whether, restraining our
savagery, we can patiently, and humanely work together for interests which
transcend the limits of any national or ideological community.”

—Thomas Merton, *Peace in the Post-Christian Era*, p. 25
